Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a system and method for verifying assembly of a connector. A connector assembly comprises a male connector and a female connector. The female connector includes a housing having an inner surface defining a cavity configured to receive the male connector. The male connector includes a housing having an outer surface configured to enable the male connector to be at least partially inserted into the cavity. The outer surface comprises a background region and an indicator region configured to emit a detectable quantity of light that is distinguishable from light emitted by the background region of the male connector and from light emitted by the housing of the female connector. The indicator region is shaped and positioned to be at least partially exposed whenever the male connector is not fully assembled into the female connector and to be completely within the housing of the female connector whenever the male connector is fully assembled into the female connector.
